“…A detailed account is not possible here and the reader is referred for concise accounts to the first five chapters in another book (Grunebaum and Christ, 1976) concisely outlining current knowledge, while Dominian (1980) has recently provided an outline of marital breakdown. Major recent changes include greater equality for women and the effects of this on men, whose r81e as fathers had already become more peripheral in the course of industrialization and separation of home and workplace; greater freedom and expectations regarding the sexual relationship; a rising divorce rate with a high proportion of re-marriage; and the increasing prevalence of non-marital cohabitation (Macklin 1978), often in relationships as committed as marriage itself.…”

“…Most Western European countries showed a gradual increase in divorce following the Second World War, a decline during the 1950s and a constant upward trend after I960. At the present rate, one in four marriages heads for disillusion in England and Wales (Dominion, 1980). In 1976 the divorce rate was 10-1 per 1000 married and it was calculated that 22% of all females would divorce at least once by the age of 45 (Thornes and Collard, 1979).…”

There is empirical evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of behavioural marital therapy. However the issues of predicting outcome and the responsiveness of particular marital problems to behavioural treatments, while crucial, have been largely ignored. Forty-five couples requesting therapy were consecutively assigned to either conjoint treatment, couples group treatment or treatment of one partner alone to ascertain whether a screening profile could be developed that would predict treatment outcome. In addition, the presenting target problems were analysed to investigate their responsiveness to treatment. The effects of the treatment were evaluated using measures of marital satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, presenting marital target problems and by an independent assessor. Using demographic and treatment variables as regressors, the analyses revealed that the coefficients were not on the whole statistically significant in predicting outcome. The trend analysis of target problems showed that conjoint treatment produced a more rapid rate of change compared to the other treatments. In addition, particular marital problems failed to respond to the treatment suggesting that the behavioural approach may require modification in the treatment of these problems.
